  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

First request: I found out today that my brother got fired from his job for wrecking a company truck a few days ago. He worked for an electrical company and was working at a plant. He was on his way of of the plant grounds and the engine locked up on him and the truck slid out of control and hit a semi. He had to get stitches and had to do a mandatory drug test. The drug test supposedly came back with traces of cocaine, and I know that my brother has never messed with any of that stuff. He takes a few different prescribed medicines but our doctor knows all about those. A few weeks ago that same truck locked up on him as he was driving down the interstate and caused him to wreck. He told his company about it and they didn't fix the truck. He's married and has 1 son.

Second request: A friend of mine is also job hunting. He's a youth minister and is looking to find a job back up here in our area. He and his wife and son just recently moved back to town and now he's looking for another job. They have their second child on the way so he's decided to look outside of the ministry as well to find a job. He'd like a full time YM job but he's not opposed to a PT position at a church as well as a full time job elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your prayers.
Matt

Father we pray for Your Holy Spirit to enter these matters and meet all needs.
We know nothing is impossible for You and we pray for Your divine intervention.
As Your children we know to expect a miracle. It is in Jesus Beloved, Holy, Gentle and Mighty Name we pray.
Amen

Thanks for all the prayers for my brother. He started a new job a week ago. I haven't talked to him about it yet, but from what my mom says, he seems to be enjoying it.

As for my friend, he's still searching so remember him.

Also, I talked to my dad tonight. His vacation was cut short because of a meeting last week and has since found out that since his company was bought out, he's probably going to be losing his job. He said in a way he's happy, since he was only a few years from retiring anyway, but he's still trying to sell his house in Florida so now that puts a little more strain on things. He's not really searching for a job unless its still in the Charlotte/Atlanta area so that he can be close to family. His company shut down all of their Florida operations about a year and a half ago, so he's been working in Charlotte while my step-mom tries to sell the house. If they can sell the house, they are going to move back to the area so that they can be close to their grandson.

Thanks again.

Matt
